the outgrowth OF the kindly and generous
sentiments OF the people of the United
States that everything which pertains to
the we'll being of that young republic
should appeal to our sympathies and be-
nevolence. The hospital which it is pro-
posed to erect seems to me to be such an
important instrumentality in well directed
charity that I desire the acceptance of the
enclosed contribution to the enterprise.

The Illinois supreme court has reversed
the finding of the circuit and APPELLATE
courts in the matter of the will of the late
Wilbur F. Storey OF Chicago. The last
will OF Mr.. Storey, bequeathing his prop.
erty, including the Chicago Times, is thus
declared invalid. Mr. Storey left two wills,
very similar in their nature and the last
one was offered for probate, but the point

thrown out, will now, it is supposed, be of.
Tered for probate.
